Jack was a really nice guy. He had brown hair and tanned skin. He helped his friends with their homework, and liked to share stuff evenly. He was a good athlete too. He won the 50 Yard Dash in gym three times in a row! But he had a secret. On his chest was a gross birthmark. I can’t describe it. It’s too disgusting. One day, Jack went to a store called Stop ‘n’ Shop to buy some coke. There was 1 left. But when Jack reached for it, he heard a familiar voice. “Keep away from that coke!” Jack turned around to see his ex-friend, Joe. Joe was the same size as Jack. He had black hair and tanned skin just like Jack only a little darker. I can’t tell you how they became rivals due to it’s graphic nature, but lets just say it happened in the second grade. “Hello, Joe,” Jack said tauntingly, “Here to get some coke?” Suddenly, Joe swiped the bottle and was about to drink it when Jack attacked with a high-jump kick. Joe counterattacked pouncing at Jack like a tiger. The attacks hit both boys at the same time. They didn’t notice that the bottle was knocked out of Joe’s hand and had rolled toward the orange stand. The oranges rolled toward the boys, and they had to move their legs fast to keep standing up. Unfortunately for Joe, it wasn’t that easy. He slid right into Jack causing them to fall on the floor with a loud BAM. Joe and Jack were on the floor tackling each other when the manager of the store came in. “Hold it!” yelled the manager. Jack and Joe immediately stopped fighting by the sound of the manager’s voice. He looked like he was only a foot tall, he had short stubby legs and a bushy mustache. He wore a white suit, a red and yellow striped tie, and rectangular glasses. He had an expression of a bull ready to charge. He shouted, “Both of you! In my office! Right now!” They obeyed. It wasn’t easy for the boys to stay behind the manager ‘cause his steps were really short. Just then, Jack’s shirt got caught in one of the racks. He pulled trying to get it off. When he did, he thought he saw his birthmark showing! Jack looked around to see if anyone saw. No one did. Jack sighed in relief and ran to catch up with the others. When they got into the office, he sat behind his desk, which was covered in letters and newspapers. “Sit down,” he said with an irritated expression. The boys both sat on the 2 wooden chairs in front of his desk. Then, the manager started talking. “Now, why were you boys fighting?” Jack replied, “I just went in to buy some coke when he…” he pointed an Joe “…snatched it from me.” Joe shouted, “That’s a lie! He snatched it from me!” “Liar!” yelled Jack. “You’re the liar!” Joe shouted back. Jack and Joe started fighting again but this time with swears words. The manager shouted, “Silence!” They didn’t hear him. “SILENCE!!” he roared with much louder volume. The boys stopped by the manager’s roaring, earth shaking yell. Jack and Joe thought they felt fierce vibrations in the ground. It was like it could turn the whole store into a pile of rubble! “Hand me the bottle,” the manager said. Jack obeyed. The manager went to a cupboard and brought out two paper cups. “How are ya gonna fix our problem with cups?” Joe asked. “Isn’t it obvious, Dodo-Brain?” Jack replied, “Man, how stupid are you?!” The manager poured the coke in both cups so they had the same amount. “Oh, I see,” Joe, said. Jack rolled his eyes. “I saw that!” Joe yelled. The manager gave the cups to the boys. “I think you owe each other an apology,” he said. “Sorry,” they both said at the same time. Joe stuck out his hand. “So, pals?” he asked. Jack smiled and reached out to shake his hand. “Pals,” he repeated. Joe smiled back and said, “Hey, guess what. I got a new video game yesterday. It’s called Zombie Destroyer 3.” “Dude, I love that game!” Jack exclaimed. Joe asked, “Well, you want to come over and play it together? I heard there’s a co-op mode.” (Just to let you know, in a video game, “co-op” means two or more players help each other) “Sure,” Jack replied. They walked out of the store toward Joe’s house. “Wait,” Joe said suddenly, “we forgot to pay for the coke!” “Don’t worry. I already took care of that,” Jack replied. So they continued walking. And ever since then, Jack and Joe were never enemies again. But Jack still wanted to keep his secret. Until…! When they got to Joe’s house, Jack felt a warm breeze. “Boy, it’s hot in here,” he said. He took off his shirt to get comfortable. “WOW!” Joe said suddenly. “Oops,” Jack thought. He completely forgot about his birthmark. It was shaped like a crescent moon. To Jack’s surprise, Joe looked amazed. “Man, I wish I had a birth mark like that,” he said. “Wait, wait, wait!” Jack said, “You don’t think its gross?” “Of course not, dude!” Joe replied. Jack smiled, “Thanks, man.” Then they went into the basement to play the video game. The End.
